PDP Officials Squandered N12bn In 9 Months –workers by boman2014: 5:43am On Jul 31, 2015
Angry workers of the Peoples Democratic Party have accused the
members of the National Working Committee of the party of
squandering N12bn in nine months.
The workers claim that N11bn was realised from the sale of
nomination forms while N1bn was gotten from the sale of delegates
forms.
They alleged that the money was squandered shortly after the sale of
the forms began on October 27, 2014 till date.
The workers said this in their response to the letter sent to them by
the party’s National Secretary, Prof. Wale Oladipo, on Wednesday.
Oladipo, in the letter, informed workers about the decision of the NWC
to reduce the party’s workforce by 50% and to also cut the salaries of
those to be retained by the same percentage.
The national secretary of the party said the decision, among others,
would take effect from August. He said:
“Establishment staff who would remain are required to obtain
individual letters of revalidation from their state chapters
within one month of this circular to their suitability for service
at the national secretariat.”
However, after a meeting in Abuja on Thursday, the workers sent a
reply to Oladipo yesterday titled, “Re: Organisation and Restructuring
of staff at the national secretariat of the Peoples Democratic Party.”
They sent copies of the letter, which was exclusively obtained by
Punch, to former President Goodluck Jonathan and the acting
Chairman, Board of Trustees of the party, Alhaji Haliru Bello.
Copies were also sent to the Deputy Senate President, Ike
Ekweremadu, PDP caucuses in both the Senate and the House of
Representatives, Chairman, PDP Governors’ Forum, Dr. Segun Mimiko
and all the PDP governors.
Besides querying how the N11bn was spent, the workers also said
they were aware that the party realised another N1bn in sales of
delegates forms recently. With this, the angry workers wondered how
the party that was in power could be in a financial crisis.
Their letter to Oladipo read in part,
“While we appreciate the fact that the party is no longer in
power, we are equally aware that the party realised over eleven
billion naira (N11,000,000,000) in income from the sale of
nomination and expression of interest forms in the last quarter
of 2014.
“We are equally aware that the NWC collected over a billion
naira from the sale of delegate forms via a company account
called Morufi Nig. Ltd, Zenith Bank Account N0:1014041654.
“With this healthy bank balance, we find it strange that after
just two months of handing over power, the NWC is proposing
a 50% reduction in staff emoluments.”
“We have also observed from publications in the media that the
NWC shared outrageous largesse among themselves
immediately after the party’s loss in the last general elections.
“We are appalled by the whimsical and derisory nature of the
circular which unfortunately negates all known administrative
procedures. We wish to recall that the national secretary, who
is statutorily in charge of the administration of the secretariat,
has never called for a staff meeting or held any interactive
session with the staff since his privileged appointment.
“We wish to draw the national secretary’s attention to the fact
that there are administrative procedures for the disengagement
of staff whose appointments have been duly confirmed.”
The workers said they welcomed the decision of the NWC members to
reduce their personal staff and also reduce their emoluments. But they
said they rejected “the directives for staff members to get revalidation
letters from the state chapters as this act will amount to accepting
our unlawful disengagement from service.
“We reject in totality the proposal to reduce staff emolument by
50%. This is because unlike the members of the NWC, the staff
are solely dependent on their salaries and allowances.”
They said they still have unwavering belief in the possibility of the
party bouncing back, and, therefore, urged the NWC to have the same
faith. The workers reminded the NWC members that the establishment
staff of the PDP national secretariat were engaged on the basis of a
well-articulated establishment manual that expressly stated the
conditions of service therein.

This may be news but hardly surprising.

It's like saying PDP/GEJ left the treasury "virtually empty". Nobody disputes the statement except those who genuinely do not know the meaning of "virtually" and those blinded by one form of bigotry or the other.

apc is written all over this. in each outcry, it's always angry workers, us officials, etc but never a name given of the person providing the 'valuable information' . apc plans to rule this country with just propaganda. create as much outcries as they can against pdp and past administration in order to divert attention away from their own stealing and degradation of the economy in mere 2 months.
I expect their sai buhari cows to wail and approve this article.
